Gran Canaria · TICKETS
The 10 best tickets & entry passes on the island, each with its price, how long it lasts and who it suits. The first one is the safest bet; the rest are there when you want something different.
Explore Poema del Mar in the Canary Islands with a skip-the-ticket-line entry ticket. Follow 35 freshwater and marine ecosystems, from a recreated Panama Canal jungle to a 400,000-liter reef cylinder and the shadowy Deep Sea exhibit. Allow about one to two and a half hours, depending on your pace and stops.
“Such a stunning aquarium – an absolute must on Gran Canaria. Speechless!”
Spend a day at Palmitos Park, about 10 kilometers from the Maspalomas Lighthouse. Your ticket includes the dolphin, parrot, birds of prey and exotic bird shows, plus access to the aquarium, butterfly house, gardens and animal areas. The park sits in a mountain valley, so plan for steep paths, sun protection and plenty of time between exhibits.
“Was great shows with the birds and dolphins. The place is situated way up in the mountains with spectacular views. There is a lot of walking involved and much of it is up and down steep hills. The park does provide walkers and mobility scooters at a cost if needed.”
Spend a day at Gran Canaria’s largest waterpark, with more than 40 slides, including the Anaconda and a water labyrinth, plus Children’s Paradise and garden areas. Entry includes use of the slides. Food, parking, lockers, sun loungers, and fast passes cost extra; the sea lion experience is optional and subject to availability.
“We had a great time here. Bought fast passes after being there a few hours and wish we’d bought them right at the start of the day. Had a really fun day!”
Spend a day at Wooland, Holiday World Maspalomas, with more than 30 indoor and outdoor attractions, from a Ferris wheel and roller coaster to a two-storey carousel and play areas for children. Your ticket includes park entry. Food, drinks, transport, bowling and the escape room are not included.
“Small but amazing. I would suggest getting there early so you can do all the rides at least once before it pics up. And to get some good pics of the view from the wheel. Our 10year old loved and wanted to stay all night.”
Sioux City Park in southern Gran Canaria is a Wild West theme park with walk-in town buildings, live cowboy and bank-robbery shows, and a small animal farm. Your ticket covers one day of park entry, not food, drinks or transport. Expect theatrical action, loud gunfire effects and a chance to explore the sets between shows.
“Amazing shows and incredible simulation of American western town. We had so much fun with kids and enjoyed the buildings where we were able to take so many nice pictures. Howver, there could have been more food options. In this case, the place and event could be even better. Would definitely recommend the place to friends and family. Thank you”
At Perchel Beach Club in Gran Canaria, your day ticket includes an infinity pool, an adult hammock, parasol and towel, a welcome cava or juice, and a three-course lunch with a choice of rice dish. Plan for three to eight hours, and budget extra for drinks. Children under 12 do not get their own hammock with this ticket.
“Beautiful setting. Nice food. Stunning place to spend the day. Beautiful i finity pool. Great spa. Great cocktails and pool food. Super comfortable. A little more expensive than other places on tbe island but you get what you pay and the view at sunset. Wow.”
At Sioux City Park, a purpose-built Western town in Gran Canaria, you can stroll past working-set buildings, watch staged bank robberies and sheriff shootouts, visit the animals, and stop at the saloon. The entrance ticket does not include hotel pickup. Plan for roughly five to six hours, and bring water for the warm, open-air setting.
“Great shows, interesting to walk round and facilities and staff excellent. Fun time, good value and free bus back a bonus. Thank you”
Spend a few hours at Cocodrilo Park in Agüimes, where crocodiles share the grounds with birds, monkeys, reptiles and farm animals. Admission includes entry, and animal feedings and shows may be part of your visit. Plan your own transport and food, and check the limited opening schedule before setting out.

Trade your voucher at Holiday World Maspalomas for a timed session at Gran Canaria’s 16-lane bowling centre. The price is $16 for a group of up to two, with play lasting 20 to 50 minutes depending on your group. Bring sports shoes or rent bowling shoes and socks. Food and drinks are available from Mr.Kale.

Spend a full day at Aqualand Maspalomas, Gran Canaria’s water park, with admission to its slides, pools, and family attractions. Ride Aquamania, Anaconda, and Kamikaze, or take it easier on the Congo River. Food, lockers, sunbeds, and parking can add to the cost, so budget beyond the ticket price.
“Great day out for the family. Needed a fast pass though as the heat was too much and long queues. Food was also good but a bit expensive and we also had to pay for the beds separately so all in all a great day but a bit expensive”
Pick a boat, a ravine or a stretch of sand.
